In the court proceedings involving whether Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis hired her boyfriend to try the president of the United States for a crime — and lied about it — one piece of sworn testimony was particularly dramatic.
Her father, John Floyd III, testified to the court in February that his daughter was “forced” to move after she was first elected. “After she was sworn in on January 1, 2021, on or about the third of February at probably 5, 5:30 a.m. in the morning,” Floyd explained, “there were people outside her house cursing and yelling and calling her the b-word and n-word. It was bizarre. Fortunately, the neighbors called the police and disbanded the group.”
That was his explanation for why Willis wound up living in an apartment owned by a friend, who testified that Willis was dating Nathan Wade before she hired him to lead the prosecution. Floyd remained in the house, which was owned by Willis, until 2022 and detailed the threats in his testimony.
“They said they were going to blow up the house, kill her, kill me, kill my grandchildren. I mean, on and on. I was concerned for her safety,” he testified. “It was so crazy. We had people, we had a guy who showed up in a parked car for probably eight hours, and we’d call the police.”
“The South Fulton police, first they put a car in front of the house that was there permanently, a police car. … They brought a person with a dog once, sometimes twice a day to circle the house to look for bombs,” he said. “Also, somebody sprayed, again, the b-word and n-word on the house, I don’t think my daughter even knew that. I cleaned it off and called the police, the South Fulton Police. I’m sure they have the records of the things that happened.”
But in response to a public records request by The Daily Wire, the City of South Fulton Police Department said it had no record of any of those incidents. In fact, the single incident report pertaining to the home was a report of an abandoned vehicle in July 2021; the vehicle was impounded.
South Fulton Police chief of staff Jubal Rodgers said in an interview, in which The Daily Wire explained that it was seeking corroboration of Floyd’s testimony, that he had not been able to locate any records, but that “Madam DA Willis has her own executive protection along with sworn officers, plus Fulton County has officers,” so it was possible that another entity handled the incidents.
The Fulton County Police Department, however, said that “no records exist” in response to a public records request for “any police report, incident report, or dispatch log from November 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021 pertaining to” the block. The request noted that “this is the home of District Attorney Fani Willis and her father John Clifford Floyd III (who may have a FCPD protective detail).”

The Fulton County Sheriff’s office told The Daily Wire that it had no record of any incident on the block in the first half of 2021.
A spokeswoman for the Fulton County Marshal said that office was not involved.
A spokesman for Willis, Jeff DiSantis, did not respond to a question about the lack of police records and a request to provide records on threats from Willis’ security detail.
While the absence of public records does not prove definitively that the events did not happen, it raises questions, particularly because Floyd specified that a neighbor called police — meaning it would likely not be internal to a special security detail. Floyd also said that Fulton County police responded, and that there were threats to kill him, presumably also not falling under the DA’s security detail.
The story, contending that in Fulton County — where 74% of residents voted against Donald Trump and a plurality of people are black — a mob of early-bird racists gathered at 5:30 a.m. to shout racial slurs at the home of an obscure public official who had the power to put them in jail, is in some ways reminiscent of actor Jussie Smollett’s claim that while he was walking in subzero temperatures in Chicago with a Subway sandwich, white men screamed the n-word and f-word at him while saying Chicago was “MAGA Country.” He was ultimately jailed for filing a false police report.
Questions of credibility were at the core of the Fulton County proceedings, which ended in Judge Scott McAfee ordering that either Willis or Wade be removed from the case against Trump. Wade resigned in March.
Willis said she began a relationship with Wade after she hired him as special prosecutor in November 2021, rather than improperly steering a contract to a paramour. An expert witness for the defense said that Willis and Wade exchanged 12,000 texts and calls between January and November 2021.
Wade acknowledged that he said under oath that he had not spent time with other women before his divorce was finalized, even though that was not true.
Wade used his work credit card to pay for extravagant trips with Willis. Willis contended that she reimbursed him, though there was no record of it because it was in cash.
Floyd sought to bolster his daughter’s credibility by saying he advised her to keep thousands of dollars in cash on hand because “it’s a black thing.”
Willis began a criminal probe into Trump days after the purported mob outside her home, and ultimately charged Trump and 18 others with charges related to alleged election interference.
The case has been paused since the March ruling as the disqualification ruling has been before an appeals court, but is likely to return to the public eye soon. The appeals court has until mid-May to decide whether it will review McAfee’s ruling — in which the judge declined to dismiss the case entirely on the basis of prosecutorial misconduct, despite criticizing Willis for “legally improper” activity.
In October, Willis used a purported 150 threats against her as justification for asking the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to allow her to designate more staff as “personal” employees not subject to some personnel rules, saying she’s “got to have people who are loyal to me.”
An Alabama man was charged that month with leaving a threatening voicemail about Willis on a Fulton County customer service line.
